This is the best app if you're obsessed with Twitter

Checking my Twitter feed is a constant habit throughout the day,
whether I'm looking for the latest tech news or a funny GIF.

There are plenty of third-party Twitter apps on the Mac to
choose from, including Twitter's
official app and
TweetDeck. A lot of people use TweetDeck, but I can't stand
the design. It also doesn't do everything I want, like save links
to read later.

Tweetbot has been my favorite Twitter app for years
on the iPhone, but its Mac app has been in sore need of a
redesign for some time. Today is the day that Tweetbot finally
looks great again on the Mac, and here's why you should use it
instead of TweetDeck.

First off, the new design
of Tweetbot for Mac is just gorgeous.Screenshot

It looks great in OS X Yosemite, the newest Mac operating system,
and makes the old version feel completely outdated.

One of my favorite
features is the ability to search my timeline for
keywords.Screenshot

So if I search "Business Insider," I see all activity from my BI
colleagues.

The main reason people
love TweetDeck is for its multiple column layout, but Tweetbot
does that too.Screenshot

Tweetbot is an app for people who want to get a lot out of their
Twitter experience. It has integration with services like
Instapaper and Pocket for saving links to read later, and the
ability to mute specific people, keywords, hashtags, and even
tweets from certain apps. You can save searches, manage Twitter
lists, and do just about everything else you'd want to do
when using Twitter.

But the main reason I love Tweetbot is my timeline syncs with
iCloud, Apple’s cloud service. It lets me pick up where I left
off in my timeline between my iPhone and Mac, and it works
seamlessly. So if I’m reading Twitter on the train and get to my
desk at work, I can pick up in my timeline exactly where I
stopped reading on my iPhone.

If you care about not skipping over tweets in your timeline like
I do, Tweetbot's syncing is a killer feature.

There are also a lot of improvements under the hood that make the
new Tweetbot faster and better, and its developers
told Business Insider that more features are planned for a
future update.

One of the biggest downsides to Tweetbot right now is that
you can't do group DMs, meaning you can't send private messages
to more than on person. So if you rely heavily on that feature, I
recommend sticking with one of Twitter's official apps. It also
costs $12.99, which means it definitely isn't for everyone.
